Tampa and Riverview Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Lawyers.
Hillsborough County—Tampa, Florida—Brandon, Florida—Riverview, Florida
As economic uncertainty and debt becomes overwhelming and unmanageable, discharge in bankruptcy can provide needed debt relief for individuals, families and businesses. Filing a Petition for Bankruptcy puts an end to harassing creditor calls. At Lynette Silon-Laguna, P.A. in Brandon/Riverview, Florida, we offer effective and experienced Chapter 7 bankruptcy services.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy generally works as follows:
- Individuals and families pursuing personal Chapter 7 bankruptcy retain essential property but liquidate other property, called non-exempt property. Funds acquired through partial liquidation (at least in theory) are used to partially pay off creditors, freeing debtors from substantial debt. In general the following assets are exempt in family and individual Chapter 7 bankruptcy: equity in homestead up to $125,000.00; equity in one vehicle up to $1,000.00 and equity in personal/household property up to $1,000.00.
- Businesses pursuing Chapter 7 business bankruptcy usually cease operations unless operations are continued by a Chapter 7 trustee.
